Save your money for frozen drinks and trips to the beach. We've got your guide to the best free events all summer long in NYC (like yoga in Bryant Park). Link in bio! 📸 @angelitojusay #bryantparkyoga #nycevents

If you're more into exercise than oysters, mid-week yoga classes are probably something you’re looking into. In the middle of the city, Bryant Park offers enough nature to help tune you into a yoga mood. These free classes go on every Thursday, helping guide you through a busy work week in NYC.

Tickets for this event are more than just mini-golf, but for beer and pizza too! What’s more Brooklyn? 18-holes and pirate themed, this course offers the experience of combining your childhood with adulthood.

Full of special effects and plenty of other extras, you won’t be able to say you didn’t have fun!

An important game as this is the season opener for the 2018 NY Giants! A trip to a football game is always more than just the game. Get there early for tailgating with your friends; barbeques, games, beers and team pride are always staples.

This start to the season is a great first chance to see the new second overall pick in the draft, Saquon Barkley as well as the return of New York’s famous Odell Beckham Jr. (now the highest paid receiver in the NFL).

Introducing The BKBF Interview, where authors share their favorite books, reflect on who turned them into readers, and plan the Brooklyn Book Festival event they’d most like to see. First up: TAYARI JONES! @tayari⠀

Here's a snippet, below; for the full interview, click link in bio!⠀

BKBF: Tell us your best book-receiving experience. ⠀
⠀
⠀
TAYARI JONES: I would love to tell you about it, but it involves a lot of subterfuge and secretive handoffs. But here is the best I can do without compromising my sources. The book in question isn’t quite a book, it’s more like a limited edition broadside. The prose is by [REDACTED] with artwork by [REDACTED]. Apparently, the writer and the artist were great friends when the broadside was created and by the time it was produced, not so much. All the broadsides were destroyed, except one. (Probably more like five or six.) But anyway, [REDACTED] smuggled it out of a supply closet at a Midwestern university and presented it to me on my birthday. (I am so glad he didn’t propose at that moment because I would have said yes, and basically ruined my life) Anyway, the broadside is in my safety deposit box in Jersey City because I am scared to show it to anyone.⠀

Adnan Charara's recent in-depth Art Market Series explores and questions the “anatomy” of the current contemporary art market, and the role of the artist in that market as a creator of beauty versus a creator of value. The artwork dances across many different media, and mixes his own distinctive, playful hand with imagery of other creative giants, as well as butchery and farming. View pieces from the Art Market series & @adnan.charara on @galerie_camille stand 2.16 at #affordableartfairnyc ⠀
